If that mecha had a hard helmet, I would swear it was a construction worker with its lunchbox.

The price is ridiculous. I certainly won't be preordering one of these bad boys. The seams on the legs are also a bit Toynami-ish... but forgiveable.

I'm an accountant, I can certify that "negative profit" is not a commonly used term... but it does sound like a very peachy way of talking about losses. I think I'm going to start replacing the word "loss" in all my financials going forward with "negative profit." I wonder how that will go over with the big wigs. My dear Vandermeer, I think you're onto something!

where's a good place to get the Orguss series? I wouldn't mind watching it again. Seeing as its been so long since the first time I've seen it I have absolutely no recollection. Oh yes, and that was absolutely beautiful work... I wish i was talented with computers.

Double post, i'm sorry.

Umm, qui il est beige clair I think that's the first time I've ever spoken french... or typed it. It's tan, and it's not even that light of a beige.

EXTREMELY Doubtful... the hope now is that a future YF-19 would be in 1/60 scale.

Yes Sir, to my knowledge it is the only other 1/20 figure produced. There were plans for at least one other but I don't think it ever made it past the prototype and press-release stage. Very nice additional pics!

it looks like a takatoku 1/55 chunky that someone stripped of paint and then left to yellow.

I used the same technique to find the Gamestops with Alphas near me. The only crappy thing about that is they would take them off the website just before the first mark down (after Rook's was released) so you couldn't find out where they might still have some. There was one in San Jose and one in Daly City that seemed to get them pretty consistently. I think there was also one in SF but I never quite checked that out.

Man, all the stupid Gamestops near me got wise to the fact that everyone just waited until the were marked down to half price so they just stopped ordering them altogether. I scored four alphas for the half price and I very much feel that they are a good buy at $39.99. Now, $19.99???? I would have bought a truckload of 'em (and resold them whenever I was low on cash for a handsome profit )

I think you're missing the point. The fact truck tons of merchandise didn't make it out (MOSPEADA was supposedly also a failure but even it dominates in merchandise in comparsion to SDCSC) kinda points to its lack of success. The fact stuff was released post-humously doesn't rewrite the past. It's a CD with music from that era, success or failure, SDCSC was of that era. I'm not saying this to knock that particular show, you love it and that's your business, but it was a resounding failure regardless of the couple of items that managed to make it into production. I love some stuff that failed also though, that's just the breaks.

Very well spoken Kanata

This just in, based on these facts history has been revised to reflect that Super Dimensional Calvary: Southern Cross was not a dismal failure in Japan. Good Job Red Devil! It's been a while since I watched it but I vaguely recall enjoying some of the music in comparison to some of the other music that was out at the time.

Has anyone ever seen a bootleg 1/60 valk? Were any ever made? 344235[/snapback] That's about as likely as a Toynami MPC bootleg.

That's $150 US before shipping. Man, that's not cheap... Do people pay more for ver 1 than ver 2?

white? Mine is definitely tan.

many years ago there was a weekly Conan animated series right? I seem to recall watching it several times. For some reaosn I seem to remember it fondly. I will likely go see this movie... and my gf will roll her eyes at me but be happy i don't have Conan action figures of any kind.

I got my first edition, removed it from a box, set it in a pose next to all the other Mac+ toys, then never touched it again. I'm convinced this is the only way you can be happy with the toy. Seems like the paint chips if you breathe on it and the tabs break if you try to transform it. I'm very sorry to hear about your loss though, I know how hard it is to find and it sounds like you were on your way to enjoying yours much more than I do mine. In a related note, you know how everyone gripes about the VF-11s hips? The other night I heard a loud clang and found that some how my VF-11 had fallen from its display 4+ feet to the ground. I hurried over expecting it to be in two parts but was greatly relieved to find it was just fine. I think the VF-11 isn't as fragile as people claim.

Oh, you like Genesis Climber MOSPEADA eh? Me too! PS- I just realized I had that diecast MOSPEADA figure locked away in a box, you're right, it is a nice display piece. Don't mind the Ride Armor background, it used to be my Misc Macross display but I decided to ice that for a while. Anyone got advice where I can get free webhosting. I know nothing about websites and don't care to learn but I feel bad dumping my pictures on MW

I'll buy it off you for $80+shipping (ya lucky bastid) Maybe he forgot to include a $1 in front of his BIN

Why wouldn't the card game begin with the first series of Robotech? If it started with The Masters portion everyone would wonder WTF happened. It only makes sense to start with Macross and then progress.

That matchbox thing is ridiculously bad. I brought one up here that went for like $100 incomplete though. THere's another one on there now (or ended recently) with a $180 BIN. Strange, it's hot right now, I remember MIB ones used to not go for $50.

I think he's just showing off his work probably hoping to get people sending him stuff for customs. Kinda like $1 advertising... and if someone buys the actual toy that's good too. Personally, I hate that toy. Notice how the Battloid mode is always hunched way forward in every pic???? That's because it has to be or the radome and everything else comes crashing down.

I think the fact the Minmay Macross Barbie goes for over $150 gives us an answer to that one. "BUT Hey, the Minmay Macross Barbie is way better!" I'm not here to judge... but perhaps the best way to maintain dignity is not to squabble over dolls... even Lord Helmet knew to keep that passion secret.
